Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotics, specifically to a robot for earthquake disaster relief, particularly suitable for earthquake rescue operations in complex terrain and rubble environments. Background Technology

[0002] Earthquakes are sudden and destructive natural disasters that often cause buildings to collapse, roads to be damaged, and people to be trapped under rubble. Traditional rescue methods rely mainly on manpower and simple machinery, resulting in low efficiency, high safety risks for rescuers, and long rescue times. In recent years, with the development of robotics technology, rescue robots have been gradually applied to disaster sites, but existing rescue robots still have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Poor terrain adaptability, making it difficult to move in complex ruin environments;

[0004] 2. It has limited functionality and lacks the ability to clear obstacles and protect trapped personnel;

[0005] 3. The rescue efficiency is low, and it is difficult to quickly locate and rescue trapped people.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an earthquake rescue robot with a reasonable structure, comprehensive functions, and strong adaptability to improve rescue efficiency and ensure the safety of rescuers and trapped people. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an earthquake rescue robot. This robot, through the coordinated operation of its tracked chassis, clearing skid, rescue capsule, support frame, and extendable stretcher, can move efficiently in complex terrain, clear obstacles, locate and rescue trapped personnel.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] An earthquake rescue robot includes the following components:

[0010] 1. Tracked chassis: Used to provide the robot with the ability to move in complex terrain. The tracked chassis is made of high-strength materials and has good anti-slip and impact resistance, and can adapt to environments such as rubble, gravel, and mud.

[0011] 2. Clearing Sliding Blade: Located at the front of the robot, it is used to clear obstacles in the rescue path, such as gravel, wood blocks, and steel bars. The sliding blade has a telescopic design, which can adjust the angle and height according to the size of the obstacle.

[0012] 3. Rescue pod: Located in the middle of the robot, it is used to temporarily accommodate and protect trapped personnel. The rescue pod is made of high-strength impact-resistant material and is equipped with an oxygen supply device, a temperature control device, and communication equipment to ensure the safety of trapped personnel.

[0013] 4. Support frame: Connects the tracked chassis and the rescue capsule, and is used to support and stabilize the overall structure of the robot. The support frame adopts an adjustable design, which can adjust the height and angle of the rescue capsule according to changes in terrain.

[0014] 5. Extendable stretcher: Installed inside the robot's rescue capsule, it is used to assist in rescue and fix the position of the injured. The extendable stretcher has the functions of stretching and rotating, and can be freely adjusted in terms of the distance and angle of extension. It can be operated flexibly and is convenient for rescuing the injured.

[0015] Advantages of this invention:

[0016] 1. Strong terrain adaptability: The tracked chassis design enables the robot to move efficiently in complex ruin environments, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional wheeled robots that are prone to slipping and getting stuck;

[0017] 2. Multifunctional integration: Through the coordinated work of the clearing shovel and the telescopic shovel support, the robot can quickly clear obstacles and open up channels for rescue; the stretcher can quickly transport the wounded and avoid secondary injuries; the design of the rescue capsule can provide temporary protection for trapped personnel and extend their survival time.

[0018] 3. Intelligent operation: The robot can be equipped with sensors, cameras and communication devices to transmit on-site information in real time, assist rescue personnel in remote operation, and improve rescue efficiency;

[0019] 4. High safety: The shock-resistant design of the rescue capsule and the stable structure of the support frame can effectively protect trapped personnel and the robot itself, reducing the risk of secondary injury. Attached Figure Description
